Rahman Dahlan: Mukhriz did not have the ‘numbers’

Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir had to step down as Kedah mentri besar because he did not have the “numbers”, said Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan.

"Politics is a game of numbers, when you don't have the numbers, your days are numbered," the Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister said during a visit to the Bukit Tagar sanitary landfill here Thursday.

Abdul Rahman, who is also the Barisan Nasional strategic communications director, said it was difficult for Mukhriz to work in conditions where he had lost support of majority of the state leaders.

Asked if Umno's dominance would be affected by Mukhriz's departure, he said: "Barisan Nasional is not made up of one person. We still have to maintain our presence in Kedah."

He also said Mukhriz was a good friend and felt sad that he had to leave.

Abdul Rahman, however, said Datuk Seri Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah should be given a chance to prove his leadership as the new Kedah Mentri Besar.

Tolerating intolerance

Intolerance is rampant at every level and in all age groups of the society, but it is more visible amongst the younger generation as our youth can be seen losing their altitude of patience over petty issues. We seriously need to think over it as what we are going to inculcate in them, which may help them seek success in future. Will it be tolerance or intolerance?

International Conference "Expose War Crimes – Criminalise War"

“Wars increasingly involve the killings of innocent people and are therefore, abhorrent and criminal. Killings in war are as criminal as the killings within societies in times of peace. Since killings in peace time are subject to the domestic law of crime, killings in war must likewise be subject to the international law of crimes. This should be so irrespective of whether these killings in war are authorised or permitted by domestic laws.”
